The condition of lots can vary widely and the nature of the lots sold means that they are unlikely to be in a perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.

With a clean, complete well-maintained appearance, structurally sound and ready to place. The ormolu with some minor surface scratches, casting flaws, verdigris and rubbing, as to be expected. Appears to retain its original mercury gilding. The dial well-preserved, a few small chips at the edges of the winding holes. The glazing to front and back, and the hinged bezel at the front, added later, with the glass at the back lightly pressing against the bell. The bell-standard has been shortened to accommodate the added glass.

Please note: Christie's does not guarantee the working condition of clock movements.
